New Amp Day! Marshall content...

[steve_man]

Okay, I'm a refugee from HC, but just wanted to share my new amp day here...:D

Been interested in the Marshall Haze since the press reports came out about them. I wanted a good tube combo that had a great overdrive channel, but didn't weigh as much as my Vox AC50.

Well, spent some time on a couple of occasions with a Haze at Guitar Center, and I was sold. Great clean channel, nice flexible overdrive channel, and I actually do not mind having the effects onboard.

The Celestion G12-66 Marquee speaker sounds very good. Very balanced, but can have a very nice sparkle on the clean channel. Footswitch seems pretty solid, and has led indicators, which is nice...

Sounds great with my Tele and my LP. Have not tried it with my semi-hollow yet. Was able to find this one used (it's in mint condition) for a really good deal. Here's some pics...

Nice, happy NAD!

I tried the lower watt, (15??) version, and I think I didnt do it any justice since I was playing low volume - but I just found it to be 'not my thing' - I can see where they were going with it though, definitely its own character. I'd probably like it cranked I bet...

Congrats on the new amp, I'm curious about that amp as well!

HNAD!

Yeah, have not had a chance to really turn it up yet. My wife and kids were home last night, and they don't care for things rattling off the walls, etc. :)

However, I really like this amp so far. For what I paid for it, I'm sure not gonna complain about it! Great tube tone, and I just can't get over how nice it looks...

Cool looking amp for sure. I Need to try one of these out. I would defintley opt for the $70 Foot Pedal if I owned one.

Yup, that's next on the list...may be a little while, but that would be nice to have a control over the boost and reverb!

I like those Sketchers, man.

Happy New Amp Day. I was not aware Marshall was making this.

Thanks man. I've owned a couple of Marshalls, but both were solid state. This is my first tube Marshall. Really sounds good, and is in a nice sized package. I think these will really catch on...they're just new.

Good Score! Since those have been out I've always had half an eye on getting one.

How do you get on with that Vox amp by the way?

[steve_man]

I love the Vox. Picked it up used a few months ago. Just put some Eminence Private Jack speakers in it about a month ago. When I bought it, it had a Celestion V30 and a Greenback. Sounded good, but I didn't care for the combination of these speakers. The Private Jacks just sound amazing. Love the cleans, and the overdrive is nice. Not as good as the marshall, but different enough that it really complements the Haze very well.

Thanks man, do you have a Tonelab? Absolutely love mine...

[Rhynobyte]

Congrats man! In the past 4 months or so when I test a guitar at guitar center I always go to the Haze. It's a great amp. Enjoy.

[steve_man]

Yup, that's what sold me on the Haze. Kept using it to try out guitars...and finally found this one used and snatched it up!

[steve_man]

Got to crank the Haze up this week...and it really opens up nicely! Has great tone at lower volumes, but especially the overdrive channel sounds awesome with the volume at least set past 12 o'clock...
